Recipe Tips
The versatility of this dish is one of its greatest attributes. It can be served warm right after mixing, at room temperature for a buffet, or chilled from the refrigerator. Each temperature brings out different aspects of the flavor profile. While it's delicious immediately after preparation, the flavors truly develop and deepen after several hours of refrigeration, making this the perfect make-ahead dish for entertaining. The curry powder may seem like an unusual addition, but trust me—it's what transforms this from an ordinary rice salad into something guests will request the recipe for.
